After getting rained out last year to the disappointment of many, Badminton CCI4* is back this year with vengeance, and it promises to be a very exciting competition. While Rolex is obviously close to my heart, I really enjoy Badminton as it offers the chance to see what horse and rider pairs are going to be on our international radar for the year. Many of the fences remain unchanged from last year’s design, as they were completely unused, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same old course! Check out the course walk below to see what designer Hugh Thomas has in store.

In addition to this awesome video, Kentucky Performance Products is having a really exciting contest from now to the Sunday before Rolex. Aren’t you excited about the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event?
